Abstract:
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous;non-coding small RNA molecules;which can degradate target mRNA;or negatively regulate the expression of the corresponding target genes in the post transcriptional level through inhibiting target gene translation;inducing degradation and so on.MiRNAs exert important parts in the process of metabolism;cell growth;and development.MicroRNA 222 (miR-222) is an important member of microRNAs;which plays an important role in cell proliferation;differentiation;apoptosis and the development of a variety of biological tissues.Recent studies found that miR-222 could mediate a variety of physiological and pathological processes;and significantly influence the development of cardiovascular disease.MiR-222 has an important role in inflammatory response and apoptosis.Here;we reviewed the relationship between miR-222 and cardiovascular disease.
